Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 225: One World Core Exchange List
"This……"

This feeling lasted for a moment, and Wei Zhong broke away from it, realizing that there was an inexplicable connection between himself and this world.

The golden light in his hand condensed and transformed into the large words "One Thousand and Twelve".

"Is this my merit point?"

Without comparison, Wei Zhong did not know how valuable these merit points were.

I don’t know how much ordinary people have, nor do I know the specific price of exchanging spiritual objects.

According to Shan Qin, there is also a special magic weapon for display when exchanging merit points. The prices of various spiritual objects vary and fluctuate over time.

It is a different system from the Taihua Stele.

"The Taihua Monument has been opened, and the exchange list will probably be announced soon."

Wei Zhong's Yuanying went deep into the sea of ​​consciousness:

"Lei Long, have you noticed anything new in this world?"

The latter shook his head blankly.

Wei Zhong secretly complained in his heart and told him the story of the Taihua Stele.

The latter could not hide his shock:
“It connects a world of cultivators. This is not an ordinary treasure, and it is definitely not something that a sixth-level cultivator can do.

"If it is true as the rumors say, that it can automatically increase the merit points of the monks according to their behavior, then it can be said that it is half the core of this world."

"core?"

Wei Zhong was confused.

Lei Long is a postscript:

"You must take good care of this monument. Rather than occupying part of this world to achieve the goal of changing the world, it is more convenient for the demons to pollute this monument."

Wei Zhong was surprised:

"It's just a magical tool, but it really has such an impact."

Lei Long smiled bitterly:

"There aren't many treasures that record the merits of all the monks, even in the spiritual world. And most of them are used by one sect. There are almost no treasures that can be expanded to a continent or the entire world.

“Although the human world is a small world, since this monument can connect all the cultivators in this world, it means that it is closely connected with the laws of heaven in this world.

"It doesn't even need the spiritual power of a cultivator to drive it. It only needs a Divine Transformation cultivator to start and shut it down. This means it is semi-autonomous, with spiritual power supplied by heaven and earth...

"Such a treasure is very close to the core of this world."

Seeing that Wei Zhong was still somewhat confused, he added:
"That fish's luck net could possibly cover the entire world?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:
"The only areas that are clear are Yunzhou, Ximo, Fengzhou, and parts of Beiyuan. As for the Polar Star Sea that is further away, it is not very clear. We only know that there is luck gathering there, but we don't know how thick it is."

Lei Long nodded slowly:

"The power of the Law Spirit is so great, and the stone tablet radiates to every cultivator in the entire world, and it is quantified to a specific number of merits. This ability is far beyond that of the stupid fish. Even if he enters the realm of transformation, he may not have such ability.

“Of course, I am not saying that the Law Spirit is inferior to this stone tablet. After all, the growth potential of the two cannot be compared.

"This 'Taihua Stele' can be seen as part of the destiny and heavenly principles of the human world. If it is controlled by others, it can be said that the fate of all cultivators in this world will be controlled by others."

Wei Zhong frowned slightly:

"If the demons refine it, wouldn't it be?"

Lei Long sneered:
"This kind of rare treasure is not something that ordinary people can peek at. Even a fifth-level demon doesn't have much hope. However, it is possible to pollute it with the true demon energy."

"What about the real demons in the upper realm?"

Lei Long pointed at himself, and Wei Zhong immediately understood.

"Refining this treasure is not much different from refining half of the human world. It can only be done by a powerful person. Even if it is a great master, it will cost a lot to achieve this goal.

"Moreover, the gains and costs of refining are difficult to balance. It is basically a losing business..."

Wei Zhong's Nascent Soul returned, and he rubbed his chin with his hand.

“The Taihua Monument is very important to this world, but it is not so fragile that it can be easily invaded by others.

“It is impossible to refine anything below the fifth level. Even if you want to pollute this monument, you must have the true demon energy of the seventh level or above, and it will take a long time.”

'It seems that we should not worry too much. The only worry is that the person behind the scenes who is pulling the human world to the True Demon Realm will go to the lower world to refine this thing at any cost.

'But according to his ten thousand year plan, he is most likely a very patient demon. He would not do such an irrational thing. But the pollution of the true demonic energy is likely to be inevitable.'

"Forget it. This monument has little relevance to a mere Nascent Soul like me. I don't even know where it is. Why should I worry about it?"

"If there is a chance, I will use Li Yuan's identity again and see if I can find out more about this monument from Bai Heng Hong Xu."

Wei Zhong sighed and sank into a state of cultivation.

But he did not forget that he was only one percent away from reaching the last stage of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

After two months of practice, Wei Zhong made a breakthrough naturally.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Middle Stage (Sixth Level, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 846/1100】

The comfortable, visible speed of progress is always fascinating.

'When you enter the late Nascent Soul stage, you can upgrade your lifespan as needed.'

According to Wei Zhong's guess, when wars break out in the future, the use of the Taoism of Time will be inevitable, and sufficient lifespan reserves will be needed.

'Two hundred years of life is not enough.'

'I don't know how Bai He used the Taoist method of time back then. Ordinary people don't have the means to prolong their lifespan like I do. Every time I use it, it is equivalent to a heavy bleeding, the kind that cannot be recovered.

"Could it be that he is gifted and has already entered the realm of spiritual transformation at an early age?"

Wei Zhong couldn't get an answer, as there wasn't much description in the jade slips of inheritance he left behind.

Thinking about this secret method, based on the reaction in the "Record of Time", Wei Zhong understood that although this method was named after years, it actually had no obvious connection with the law of time.

Instead, it is closer to an exchange, an exchange in which one exchanges lifespan for more powerful cultivation.

This also explains why there is no record of the abnormal thunder tribulation in the inheritance left by Bai He, because it did not touch the law of time at all, so there would be no such punishment and obstruction.

If he has not encountered it in the human world, it is highly unlikely that he will encounter it even after ascending to the spiritual world.

"The Immortal Palace and the Time Guard are truly a sharp sword hanging over the heads of cultivators like me..."

Wei Zhong shook his head and put his skills into practice. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

One jade slip after another was distributed to various Nascent Soul forces.

Wei Zhong looked intently at the jade slip placed in the hall, which projected a golden light curtain with three large characters "Hun Tian Ce" at the top.

This is the name of this jade slip, or to be more precise, the name of its original body. What is stored here in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce is just a branch of the strategy.

According to Shan Gu, this treasure is of the fifth level and is jointly managed by the gods of the human race. 'It is indeed not as impressive as the Taihua Stele. It can only send out a limited number of jade slips, while the Taihua Stele can radiate to all the native cultivators in the human world. The size of the two is not at the same level at all.'

Wei Zhong shook his head secretly in his heart.

Below the three words "Hun Tian Ce" are the names of various spiritual objects and the merit points that need to be exchanged.

"Exquisite golden embroidered robe, fifth-level demon-suppressing tower, Hunyuan Qilin spear..."

A large number of magical instruments and various high-level elixirs are displayed on it.

Wei Zhong was searching for the things he was most familiar with.

[Spirit-fixing Pill: 100 Merit Points/Piece]

'It's so cheap?'

Wei Zhong finally had a concrete idea of ​​the contribution points he had. He looked up at the various fifth-tier elixirs and magical instruments on them and found that he also had the ability to exchange for one.

For example, the fifth-level Demon-Suppressing Tower is worth one thousand merit points.

“Unfortunately, merit points are hard to come by. Even if you kill a demon in the late Nascent Soul stage, you will only get 200 merit points.

"At most, I can exchange it for a few fourth-level spiritual pills. It is very difficult for ordinary Yuanying people like me to accumulate treasures corresponding to the fifth-level Shenhua level."

Yu Tianze showed emotion on his face; his injuries had not yet healed and there was a hint of paleness on his face.

Wei Zhong looked down along the spiritual item catalog and found the value of Peiying Pill and Dixuan Pill. Both of them were only worth a few dozen merit points each, which was far from the Dingling Pill.

"It seems that the elixir of breaking through the rank is indeed much more precious."

Continue scanning along the jade slip and arrive at the list of martial arts techniques.

"Blood Spirit Scripture": 800 merit points.

Note: Levels 1 to 5, Blood Dao techniques, inherited from the upper realm, suspected to be the cultivation method of Xue Che, the ancestor of the human race who became a god. Among them is the technique of forging blood spirit roots after birth...

It is a long description that tells the origin of this method, what you need to know about practicing it, and other key points.

Looking through the entire list of exercises, this one can be considered extremely expensive.

The list also includes Wei Zhong’s “Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art”: 180 merit points.

Note: Level 1 to 3, water-based skills, seriously incomplete (missing supporting secrets, missing spiritual root casting techniques, missing cultivation essentials...). The total amount and thickness of spiritual power of those who practice this skill far exceeds that of those at the same level...

'One hundred and eighty merit points, far less than the Blood Spirit Scripture. But it is rare and precious that the first to third level parts can have such value.

'I wonder what value it will achieve if I hand over the subsequent methods?'

He shook his head and pushed the thought out of his mind.

Wei Zhong had no intention of making his martial arts practice public. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

There are many people who share the same idea as Wei Zhong. For example, there is no "The True Scripture of Withering and Flourishing" practiced by the Shan family father and daughter.

After all, only a few people publish their methods of self-cultivation on it.

Even the various skills treasured by the major sects are also kept secret.

Just like the "Seven Aperture Thunder Power" that Wei Zhong practiced, only the first to third levels were listed in the list, and the remaining fourth and fifth levels were nowhere to be found.

Perhaps the Yunji Chamber of Commerce will release the subsequent parts in the future, but this is enough to show the sectarianism of the cultivators in this world.

In any case, the "Taihua Stele" and the "Hun Tian Ce" ultimately provide a fair enough platform for all cultivators.

As long as the cultivator earns enough merit points, everything recorded in this jade slip can be easily obtained.

"It's not easy to earn these merit points!"

After asking Yu Tianze, Wei Zhong learned that he had only earned more than 20 merit points after fighting for his life and death.

The effort is totally disproportionate to the price. Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has not achieved enough.

For example, Shan Gu killed a demon in the early Nascent Soul stage in the last conflict and obtained 60 merit points.

But these sixty points are still dwarfed by Wei Zhong's thousand points.

Thinking of what I have done:
"Could it be that most of them are from the gains I made from publishing the "Five Elements Spiritual Cultivation Method"? "

The more Wei Zhong thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After practicing for more than 400 years, there are only two things worth mentioning about his contribution to the human race:
1. Announce the "Five Elements Spirit Cultivation Method"; 2. Capture Bai Hou, a demon in the late Nascent Soul stage.

No matter how Ren Wei Zhong thought about it, he didn't think that Bai Hou was worth a thousand merit points.

"It seems that there are many ways to obtain merits. You don't necessarily have to kill the invading demons to get them."

"Does Brother Wei have anything that you're interested in?"

Yu Tianze joked.

Wei Zhong raised his hand and pointed at the fifth-level treasure on the list, and said with a smile:

"I would like to scan all the treasures on this list, but unfortunately I don't have enough merit points."

Yu Tianze smiled. Everyone has such thoughts, but few people would say them so blatantly.

"If you can defeat the demons' attack by yourself, it would be possible," he said, shaking his head.

"By the way, how many merit points does Fellow Daoist Wei have now?"

Wei Zhong glanced at the four-digit number that only he could see, and said hypocritically:
"I am a cultivator in a small house, how can I do anything meritorious? I only have two points. I don't know where these two points came from. Could it be that the elixirs and magic tools I refined accumulated little by little?"

The merit points required to exchange for elixirs and magical instruments are not cheap, but that does not mean that two items can be exchanged for merits of equal value. Wouldn't this mess up the merit system of the Taihua Monument?
Miaoli Shan also came over after hearing this:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, what you said does make some sense. Many of my fellow Daoists have a small number of merit points in their accounts. They are probably obtained through certain actions in their daily lives that touched upon the Taihua Monument."

Then he pursed his lips:
“If you want to use the art of alchemy and weaponry to earn merit, you can no longer mechanically refine ordinary elixirs.

"The best way is to develop new recipes or techniques for refining magical instruments. For example, we can research and develop a healing elixir for the blood demon's wounds, or a magical instrument like the Demon Suppression Tower that targets the demons..."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly after hearing what Miao Lishan said.

"These methods are time-consuming and the effort is not proportional to the reward. I think you might as well refine the Demon Suppression Tower in batches. If the fifth level is not possible, there are still the fourth and third levels below it," Yu Tianze shook his head and said, "If you add them up, it will also be a considerable merit."

Wei Zhong scanned the entire list and actually found the method of refining a unique magical weapon called the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Level 3 is 20 points, level 4 is 80 points, and level 5 is 200 points.

“It’s really not cheap!”

This is just the exchange of methods, and the consumables and energy consumed in refining are not included.

The merits gained in exchange for each item refined have not been mentioned yet, and I don’t know if this is a stable way to earn merits.

"In short, it is easiest to gain merit by fighting against the demons. The risk is great, but the reward is also great.

"Friend Wei has good fighting ability, you can also consider this route."

The several Nascent Soul cultivators present did not forget that Wei Zhong was the ruthless man who defeated Yu Si across levels.

There are not many people in this world who have both the art of alchemy and personal strength.
